Ryan, I have two Percival growth chambers that I have used for pitcher plants and insect rearing. Temp, light and humidity can be controlled. I have run my chambers almost continuously for over 12 years. No problems other than maintenance of the humidifiers. I have to use cool air humidifiers rather than plumbed-in humidification because we don't have deionized water on tap nor do we have floor drains. We rigged up a system to maintain the water level in the humidifier chambers. I am very happy with the chambers; but keeping the humidity running has been a challenge due to the construction of the humidifiers.
